Annual Report 2016/17 Page 2 16 17 Speaker’s Foreword

Members’ electorate offices are at the core of their representative role as a place to facilitate their service to local communities. Electorate offices are just one fundamental point of difference with our colleagues in the Legislative Council. Accordingly, electorate offices and their resourcing is a primary focus of the administration of the Legislative Assembly. With 98 offices across the state, our administration team is often met with challenges and are expected to act swiftly and professionally. One example of the professionalism shown by the Assembly’s Electorate Office Services is their action in response to the flooding of the Lismore electorate office following Cyclone Debbie on 28 March 2017. Emergency repairs were able to be completed within three weeks to enable the Member and his staff to re-open the electorate office and serve his constituents with a functioning office, whilst the more substantial refurbishment works were completed.

Two personal highlights for me were the opening of a Parents’ Room and the women in Parliament exhibition A‘ Fit Place for Women - NSW Parliament’. Many Members and staff have young children. To provide supplementary support to their regular level of child care a new Parents’ Room was commissioned. It was opened on 11 May 2017 and has a range of facilities for use by both Members and staff and is one of the many initiatives of the Parliament to encourage the entry of more female Members.

To commemorate a century of the involvement of women in New South Wales politics as campaigners, protestors, voters, parliamentary officers, Members, Ministers and Premiers the Parliament held an exhibition celebrating women in Parliament. At its centre was Millicent Preston Stanley, being the first female member of the Legislative Assembly. As part of the commemorations the Legislative Assembly Chamber played host to a re-enactment of the introduction of Millicent’s Guardianship of Infants Bill debated on 2 November 1926. Two publications have also been produced to acknowledge the development of female representation in our State, and a new space within the Parliament has been dedicated in honour of Millicent.

The sittings of the Assembly and the work of parliamentary committees are key functions, as they are for all Parliaments. The Assembly conducted lengthy and important debates on a number of significant bills, commemorative motions and other topics. Assembly Committees continue to conduct inquiries into important and topical issues. In 2016/17 these included the point-to-point transport industry and short-term holiday lettings. As a part of the Assembly’s digital strategy, in May 2017, Committee Chairs commenced a trial of announcing committee inquiries on the Parliament’s YouTube channel.

I also wish to draw the attention of Members to the ongoing work of the Legislative Assembly’s Standing Committee on Parliamentary Privilege and Ethics. It has been given a remit to review the Members’ Code of Conduct and Register of Pecuniary Interests. The committee is continuing its work by consulting widely with key stakeholders and has taken a considered approach to identifying all the issues and to undertake a thorough analysis of those issues.

Six by-elections were conducted during 2016/17. One of those was under heart-breaking circumstances. Kathy Smith, the former Member for Gosford, resigned her seat on 14 February 2017 due to illness. Tragically, Kathy lost her battle with cancer on 31 May 2017. All Members and staff were saddened by her death and on behalf of the Legisaltive Assembly I extend our thoughts to her family.

Finally, in February, I was very pleased to announce the appointment of Helen Minnican as Clerk of the Legislative Assembly. Since her appointment, Helen constantly gives an exceptional level of dedication to her role, providing wise and impartial counsel to Members, administering the Department of the Legislative Assembly and overseeing the proceedings of the House. I was also pleased to appoint Leslie Gonye as Deputy Clerk. Les’s credentials are not only recognised by all Members but by his peers with his election to the position of Vice President of the Australia New Zealand Association of Clerks-at-the-Table.

Annual Report 2016/17 Page 6 Our organisation

Role of Members

Since 1856, Members of the NSW Legislative Assembly have served the people of NSW as their elected representatives, championing the local and statewide concerns of the citizens who elect them. While in Parliament Members consider and vote on legislation in the Chamber, participate in Committee inquiries and reviews. They also perform a wide range of duties in their electorates across the state.

Members of the NSW Legislative Assembly, in conjunction with Members of the NSW Legislative Council, provide a government for NSW as well as an Opposition. In addition to making and passing legislation, they scrutinise the activities of government and hold it to account, develop policy for consideration by government and debate issues of importance to the people of NSW.

Role of the Department

The Department of the Legislative Assembly provides Members with services, infrastructure and advice to support them in carrying out their work both within Parliament and in their electorates. This includes producing the House publications (in print and online) for each sitting in the Chamber and providing advice on parliamentary procedure as well as leasing, fit-outs and maintenance of Electorate Offices.

Support in Chamber

The Chamber is where Members come together to discuss issues concerning NSW, receive official documents tabled by government departments and agencies, and debate and vote on proposed new laws. All of these activities are presided over by the Speaker of the House.

The Department produces the publications required for each sitting in the Chamber, provides advice on parliamentary procedure, and is the custodian of the public record of proceedings and the decisions made by the Assembly.

Committees

Members of both the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council conduct in-depth studies of issues of State significance. They examine and provide comment on aspects of proposed legislation, examine government spending, conduct inquiries, and receive input from government agencies, subject experts and other stakeholders.

The Department of the Legislative Assembly coordinates meetings, inquiries (including regional hearings) and prepares notices, agendas, minutes, briefing papers and draft reports for all Legislative Assembly and Joint Committees. Committee staff provide procedural, research and executive support to committees of the Assembly and all of the joint statutory committees.

Electorates

The Department also supports Members’ electorate work and community engagement through the provision of electorate offices. Electorate offices serve as an access point for the community to raise issues of local concern and seek assistance in accessing state programs and services. The Department, through the Electorate Offices Services Unit, leases, fit-outs and maintains 98 shopfront electorate offices around the state and provides support and training to electorate office staff.

Parliamentary Partnership

The Department of the Legislative Assembly, in conjunction with the other two Parliamentary Departments, the Department of the Legislative Council and the Department of Parliamentary Services, works collaboratively to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of services to Members of Parliament and other key stakeholders.
